Method

Prepare the turkey for roasting in the traditional manner using a roasting pan. Instead of stuffing the cavity with "stuffing", stuff it with a combination of orange, lemon, lime and pineapple slices. Coat the skin generously with either butter or honey (if you wish a sweeter taste.) Cook according to weight...DO NOT BASTE!

 

Notes: The turkey will turn out far more moist than you have ever had, with a hint of citrus!! The drippings you cannot use for gravy though, the only drawback. Use a deep pan for roasting...there will be a lot of juice! You can leave the rind on the citrus...it doesn't make a difference.

 

Number of Servings: 5-10
